What If Columbus And The Founders Weren’t What You Heard

WEBVTT
00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:05.120
Psalm 40, starting with verse 1.
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.919
I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.640
He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire.
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:19.359
He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.839
He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God.
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.960
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.920
They will put their trust in the Lord.
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:43.200
Sometimes, perhaps, folks, what's going on in our life isn't so much about us as those around who will see what God has done and be amazed.
00:00:51.039 --> 00:01:09.040
Christian Romero Argueta, illegal immigrant from El Salvador, 31 years old, used social media to lure a girl under 15 while he was posing as an 18-year-old.
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.760
Met her at a parking lot, sexually assaulted her.
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.280
Charged with rape.
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.120
By force, threat, intimidation, two counts of carnal knowledge of a child between 13 and 14.
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:57.599
We read these each day, folks, not because they're easy to listen to or not because of some morbid curiosity, but because it is a fact without a doubt that if we allow illegal immigration, amass Muslim immigration to continue, if we allow the left to continue to grow in America, allow Muslims to continue to grow in America, this is the only future that we will hand over to our wives, daughters, and grandchildren.
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.959
Hey folks, this is Jesse Cope back with another episode of the American Soul Podcast.
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.719
Hope y'all are doing well wherever y'all are, whatever part of the day you're in.
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:14.319
Sure to appreciate you joining me, giving me a little bit of your time and attention, a little piece of your day.
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:15.840
I will try and use it wisely.
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:21.520
For those of y'all that continue to share the podcast with others, tell others about it, leave reviews, thank you.
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.360
Same thing for the Countryside Book Series.
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:28.080
For those of y'all that have read it, shared it, left reviews, thank you very much.
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.639
And most of all, for those of y'all that continue to pray for me, for my family.
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.240
The podcasts and the writing, thank you.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.319
Very, very grateful for your prayers.
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.080
Father, thank you for today.
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.080
Thank you for you, Father, and your son Jesus Christ and your Holy Spirit.
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.840
Thank you for your love, your mercy, your grace, and your forgiveness of sins.
00:02:52.879 --> 00:03:00.000
Through the merit of your son Jesus Christ alone, thank you that we need nothing and no one else besides your son, Father.
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.599
Thank you for that gift that we cannot earn.
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.360
Only accept.
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.919
Thank you that you chose us, Father.
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.479
Guide our steps.
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.199
Be with those listening, wherever they are, Father.
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.319
Comfort them, help them to feel your peace, your joy.
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.520
That peace that surpasses all understanding.
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:40.080
Even when we feel stressed out and pushed past the breaking point, or that we know we should feel that way.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:50.800
Those little moments when we suddenly feel okay and calm and trusting.
00:03:52.960 --> 00:04:04.479
Be with our leaders in the pulpit in the state, pastors, priests, president, vice president on down, admirals, generals, senators, representatives, governors, mayors, judges.
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.080
Be with our military law enforcement firefighters, EMS.
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:09.759
Bring them home safe.
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.800
Be with those that keep our infrastructure running, our homes running.
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.199
Carpenters, plumbers, electricians.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:22.800
People that work on the sewers, the roads, the electrical grid.
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:24.480
Bless them.
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:25.680
Keep them safe.
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.000
Give them energy and courage and strength.
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:29.120
Wisdom.
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.000
Bless their families.
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.079
And God, my words here, Father, please.
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:35.360
Your son's name we pray.
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:36.160
Amen.
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:45.199
We have a young baby that someone in our church knows, doesn't attend our church.
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.319
The family doesn't, but somebody in the church knows him.
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:52.720
And it's kind of been an ongoing saga for the last year plus.
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.319
So this he this baby he needed a liver transplant.
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.560
Waited, waited, got it.
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.720
And then the liver did take.
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.319
And so now they're struggling with that.
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.560
And they can't look for another liver transplant until the baby grows a little bit.
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.240
He's got to get a little bigger.
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:22.399
And I was talking to somebody in the church that has also got some problems of their own right now that are very serious problems.
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:28.480
But we were we were talking about the fact, you know, we're not having to deal with that.
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:42.959
We're not having to deal with you you think of the really big, whatever you consider a big problem, you know, uh cancer, getting shot at, uh adultery, I I don't know, whatever it is in your mind that's a huge problem, right?
00:05:43.120 --> 00:06:02.079
But as I was thinking about that, I I'm reminded of something that a wife has said said long ago, and that is just because other people might think that your problem is insignificant doesn't make it insignificant to you, right?
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:03.360
And that's okay.
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:10.560
Whatever you're going through, whatever hardship you're facing, it's okay to acknowledge that that's a hardship.
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:16.319
Uh it doesn't mean you get to wallow in self-pity, folks, and you do need to have a little bit of perspective.
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:21.439
Uh, as my beloved cousin has told me so often, right?
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.920
You you do have to have a little perspective.
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:35.279
Um it doesn't negate the fact that you're going through something hard just because it isn't the hardest.
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.120
Marriage verse for today, Proverbs 5, 18 and 19.
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.399
May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.160
A loving doe, a graceful deer, may her breast satisfy you always.
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.279
May you ever be intoxicated with her love.
00:06:52.000 --> 00:07:01.199
Can't tell you how much much pushback I get from uh people, particularly women that are supposed to be Christians, just posting this scripture.
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.120
Not even the whole scripture, right?
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.319
I'll just put a couple of the lines in there.
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:20.480
You can always tell that you're doing a pretty good job, that you're on target, folks, when people who openly reject scripture get mad at whatever it is that you're doing.
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.600
Pretty good indication that you're on the right track.
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.000
First Corinthians 16, one through 24.
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:37.839
Now, regarding your question about the money being collected by for God's people in Jerusalem, you should follow the same procedure I gave to the churches in Galatia.
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.000
On the first day of each week, you should each put aside a portion of the money you have earned.
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.519
Don't wait until I get there and then try and collect it all at once.
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:51.279
When I come, I will write letters of recommendation for the messengers you choose to deliver your gift to Jerusalem.
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.759
And if it seems appropriate for me to go along, they can travel with me.
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:02.000
I am coming to visit you after I have been into Macedonia, for I am planning to travel through Macedonia.
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:08.160
Perhaps I will stay a while with you, possibly all winter, and then you can send me on my way to my next destination.
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.480
This time I don't want to make just a short visit and then go right on.
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.040
I want to come and stay a while if the Lord will let me.
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:19.439
In the meantime, I will be staying here at Ephesus until the festival of Pentecost.
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.920
There is a wide open door for a great work here, although many oppose me.
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.600
When Timothy comes, don't intimitate him.
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.079
He is doing the Lord's work just as I am.
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.320
Don't let anyone treat him with contempt.
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.360
Send him on his way with your blessing when he returns to me.
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.240
I expect him to come with the other believers.
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:45.840
Now about our brother Apollos, I urged him to visit you, all the other believers, with the other believers, but he was not willing to go right now.
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.799
He will see you later when he has the opportunity.
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:56.080
Be on guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong, and do everything with love.
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:05.120
You know that Stephanus and his household were the first of the hardest of believers in Greece, and they are spending their lives in service to God's people.
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:10.879
I urge you, dear brothers and sisters, to submit to them and others like them who serve with such devotion.
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:17.840
I am very glad that Stephanus, Fortunatus, and Achaics have come here.
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.559
They have been providing the help you weren't here to give me.
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.799
They have been a wonderful encouragement to me, as they have been to you.
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.799
You must show your appreciation to all who serve so well.
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:39.279
The churches here in the province of Asia send greetings in the Lord, as do Aquila and Priscilla, and all the others who gather in their home for church meetings.
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:44.559
All the brothers and sisters here send greetings to you, greet each other with a sacred kiss.
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.200
Here is my greeting in my own handwriting, Paul.
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.240
If anyone does not love the Lord, that person is cursed.
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.000
Our Lord, come.
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.279
May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.159
My love to all of you in Christ Jesus.
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.759
I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.279
He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire.
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.720
He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.480
He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God.
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.200
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.200
They will put their trust in the Lord.
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:29.360
Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord, who have no confidence in the proud or in those who worship idols.
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.639
O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us.
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.879
Your plans for us are too numerous to list.
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:36.480
You have no equal.
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.000
We need to remember that in America today, folks.
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:46.720
Our founders didn't pretend that other false religions were equal to God and Jesus Christ.
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:48.639
They have no equal.
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:53.759
If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.799
You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.519
Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand.
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.639
You don't require burnt offerings or sin offerings.
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:04.720
Then I said, Look, I have come.
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:11.679
As is written about me in the scriptures, I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your instructions are written on my heart.
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.039
I have told all your people about your justice.
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.639
I have not been afraid to speak out as you, O Lord, well know.
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.399
I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart.
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.919
I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power.
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.440
I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and faithfulness.
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.879
Proverbs 22:1.
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.480
Choose a good reputation over great riches.
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.120
Being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:45.519
Amen to that.
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:53.440
Money can never replace a good name or make up for a bad one.
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:12.879
If you're looking for a family-friendly middle-grade fantasy read, kind of like Narnia the Hobbit, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Fablehaven, that kind of stuff, if you would check out the Countryside series, you can get it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, your local bookstore, hardback, paperback, ebook.
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.120
There's two books in the series so far.
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:24.559
And if you enjoy them, if you'd leave a review online somewhere that helps other people to find the books, especially the five-star reviews.
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.559
Same thing with the two podcasts.
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:37.120
If you feel like you're getting something out of them each day, if you would share them with others and leave reviews online wherever you listen to the podcast, that helps others to find them.
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.120
And if you have five or ten dollars a month, you can donate to the writing in the podcast.
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.759
There's links in the show notes where you can find the book and set up that monthly donation.
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.039
So I would be grateful for any or all of those.
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:54.240
Thank you.
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.480
September 11, 2001.
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:04.399
Next uh 10 names of individuals murdered by Muslims inside the United States.
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:05.840
Donna M.
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.759

Berry, David Shelby Berry, Joseph John Barry, William Reed Bethkey, Innay Betru, Timothy D.
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.120
Butterley, Carolyn Mayer, Bug.
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:51.039
There will never be peace possible inside the United States alongside followers of leftism, communism, socialism, Islam.
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.519
Medal of Honor for today, Henry Flint Chandler, Sergeant, U.S.
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:02.399
Civil War, Echo Company, 59th, Massachusetts Infantry, U.S.
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.240
Army, June 17, 1864, Petersburg, Virginia.
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:16.159
Though seriously wounded in a bayonet charge and directed to go to the rear, he declined to do so but remained with his regiment and helped to carry the breastworks.
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:24.480
Accredited to Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts, not awarded posthumously, presented March 30th, 1898.
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:29.919
Born September 26, 1835, Andover, Massachusetts.
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:35.440
Died November 16th, 1906, Haverhill, Massachusetts.
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.159
Buried West Parish Cemetery, M.H.
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.120
Andover, Massachusetts.
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:45.039
Henry Flint Chandler.
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:54.320
Wonder if we have the kind of devotion to serve Christ and save our nation today.
00:14:55.600 --> 00:15:00.240
So we're going to jump back into Columbus, right?
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:11.120
Because we hear so much just straight-up misinformation about Columbus today, thanks to the left and education.
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:19.440
Much like I was had the privilege of getting to study a little with my eldest the other day.
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:28.879
One of the things that they were talking about in government was the fact that every state was guaranteed a Republican form of government, right?
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.240
And it's in our Constitution.
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:33.519
That's literally written in there.
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:38.559
And yet today so many people promote democracy.
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:43.919
But when you go back and read our founder's quotes on democracy, they weren't a fan of democracy at all.
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:49.759
But we don't know that today because history's been ignored, hidden, revised, whatever.
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:51.039
Same thing with Columbus.
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:59.039
So uh we read a little excerpt on the previous podcast out of his book of prophecies, and we're just gonna kind of keep going and read little bits here and there.
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:04.559
A lot of this, almost all of this, is coming out of America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations.
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:09.600
Uh, there's also a good bit of stuff in the American Patriots Bible, edited by Dr.
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:10.480
Richard G.
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.759
Lee, and then the Founders Bible produced by the Wall Builder Association, uh, Mr.
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:16.480
Barton.
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.320
Highly recommend all three of those.
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:24.480
If you don't have a hard copy, um, and there's any way that you can get it, I would highly recommend getting those.
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:28.320
Household, give them as gifts to children, grandchildren.
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:34.559
They ought to be primary textbooks in every single classroom across the nation, for sure.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.360
What was the actual commission to Columbus, right?
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:42.559
Inside that from Queen Isabella?
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:52.240
It is hoped that by God's assistance, some of the continents and islands in the ocean will be discovered for the glory of God.
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.080
August third, fourteen ninety-two.
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:14.400
Every crew member uh gave his last confession, received Holy Communion, and then uh Bartolome de las Casas, who we'll talk about again a little later, recorded.
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:40.240
Columbus received the very holy sacrament of the Eucharist on the very day that he entered upon the sea, and in the name of Jesus ordered the cells to be set, and they left harbor of Pelos for the river of Psaltis and the ocean sea, with three equipped carabails, giving the commencement to the first voyage and discovery of the Indies.
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:48.960
Typical song sung at the beginning of the day.
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:57.759
Blessed be the light of day and the holy cross, we say, and the Lord of Verity and the Holy Trinity.
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:02.720
Blessed be the immortal soul and the Lord who keeps it whole.
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:08.240
Blessed be the light of day, and he who sends the night away.
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:53.119
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, because most Christian and very exalted, excellent and mighty princes, king and queen of the Spains and of the islands of the sea, our Lord and Lady, in this present year 1492, after your Highnesses had made an end to the war with the Moors who ruled in Europe, and had concluded the war in the very great city of Granada.
00:18:54.000 --> 00:19:05.279
Where, in interesting, right, their little side note, Moors kind of sounds like what's going on today in America with those people has been going on for a long time.
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:20.960
Where in the present year, on the second day of the month of January, I saw the royal standard of your highnesses placed by force of arms on the towers of the Alambra, which is the citadel of said city.
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:28.559
And I saw the Moorish king come forth to the gates of the city and kiss the royal hands of your highnesses and the prince of my lord.
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:57.920
And soon after in that same month, through information that I had given to your highnesses concerning the lands of India and of a prince who is called Grand Khan, which is to say in our vernacular King of Kings, how many times he and his predecessors had sent to Rome to seek doctors in our holy faith to instruct him therein, and that never had the Holy Father provided them, and thus so many people were lost through lapsing into idolatries and receiving doctrines of perdition.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:38.880
And your Highnesses, as Catholic Christians and princes devoted to the Holy Christian faith and the propagators thereof, and enemies of the sect of Muhammad and of all idolatries and heresies, resolved to send me, Christopher Columbus, to the said regions of India, to see the said princes and people and lands and the dispositions of them and of all, and the manner in which may be undertaken their conversion to our holy faith, and ordained that I should not go by land, the usual way to the Orient, but by the route of the Ostent, by which no one to this day knows for sure that anyone has gone.
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:53.839
Right, and so his the purpose is to spread the gospel, particularly to the sect of Muhammad.
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:56.880
Interesting, we're still having problems there.
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:01.680
It's almost like there's a problem with that ideology.
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:03.920
Okay, so we'll get back into it.
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.240
That's why we spent about a week on Columbus.
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:14.799
Uh, that was his opening journal entry in 1492 on the first voyage across the Atlantic, talking to the king and queen in the journal.
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:22.960
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:28.400
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:34.000
And lead us not to temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:34.960
Amen.
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:35.920
God bless y'all.
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:41.119
God bless your families, your marriages, your children, your nation, wherever you are around the world.
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.400
Listening, sure to appreciate you joining me.
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.599
God bless America.
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.960
We'll talk to y'all again real soon, folks.
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:48.160
Looking forward to it.
